  • Notes 
    • The Visitation of Northamptonshire states that Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon was son of Thomas Gifford of Twyford, county Bucks, the testator of 1511; but the Harleian pedigree in the printed Visitation of Oxfordshire and also the pedigree of the Giffords of Middle Claydon i the Heralds' College make him the son of John and Agnes Gifford and therefore the brother of Thomas. The latter statement is clearly the correct one. Thomas Gifford, in his will, dated 10 October 1511 mentions only one son, Thomas, and his inquisition post mortem, of 10 November 1511, shows that this Thomas, the heir, was then aged thirty years and more, and therefore was born about 1481. The inquisition post mortem of Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon, of 22 November 1543, shows Thomas Gifford, son of Thomas, in his will, dated 2 November 1550, calls Roger's sons, George, William, Ralph, and John, his cousins; and in August 1538, in a complaint of injuries done to him by Roger Gifford and his sons, John, George, Ralph, William, and Nicholas, he calls them his kinsmen (Letters Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII, vol. 12, part 2, p. 96, 97). http://schow-bickmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/roger-gifford-1463-1542.html
